"HE'S NO GODDAMNED WAR HERO"!!!.....It's become personal with Barry

Allbiz - PWCM - JLA 2012/08/05 20:38:22

For President Barack Obama, it’s now personal.

A new book cites Obama aides saying that the president has a “genuine disdain” for Mitt Romney.

“One factor made the 2012 grind bearable and at times even fun for Obama: he began campaign preparations feeling neutral about Romney, but like the former governor’s GOP opponents in 2008 and 2012, he quickly developed a genuine disdain for the man,” author Glenn Thrush writes in the soon-to-be released e-book “Obama’s Last Stand.”

Thrush, a reporter for Politico, writes that Obama’s feelings for Romney are different from how he personally felt about other Republican opponents on the Hill and campaign rivals of the past.

“Obama, a person close to him told me, didn’t even feel this strongly about conservative, combative House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, the Hill Republican he disliked the most,” Thrush writes. “At least Cantor stood for something, he’d say.”

“When he talked about Romney, aides picked up a level of anger he never had for Clinton or McCain, even after Sarah Palin was picked as his running mate. ‘There was a baseline of respect for John McCain. The president always thought he was an honorable man and a war hero,’ said a longtime Obama adviser. ‘That doesn’t hold true for Romney. He was no goddamned war hero.’”

Thrush writes that “scorn stoked Obama’s competitive fire, got his head in the game, which came as a relief to some Obama aides who had seen his interest flag when he didn’t feel motivated to crush the opposition.”

This sentiment is very different, also, to what Romney publicly says about the president “I don’t think the president’s a bad guy, I just think his political philosophy is entirely wrong.”

    No, you're not on either count. You responded to me with a pic and some lies about Romney that stated "This is not the face of a President." I suppose you think the arrogant, smug, narcissistic SOB in the pic I posted is just the face for a President.

    FDR was hated by many as a person. But he was revered as a president. It has nothing to do with likes and dislikes.

    Obama may be liked by a lot of special interest folks, but in three years he's still gained the position as worst president ever. It took Jimmy Carter a full four years to get there.

    FACT is Ohblowme is the worst president in the history of the nation. Reduction in our Standard & Poor rating for the first time in history - just for starters.

    It’s hard to think of a president that has been more of an Epic Failure than President Obama. Here is just a short list of Obama’s Failures:

    Hawaii is in Asia (didn't he live there?)

    Passing on the keystone pipeline.

    Touts a Green Energy Company as exemplary that fails a year later.

    Using the Gulf Oil Spill to promote Green Energy – instead of cleaning it up.

    Thinking the Tea Party is a passing fad – or that they are racists.

    Pulling out of Iraq with no clear victory over insurgent forces.

    Trying to re-write history through speeches – with inaccurate information (i.e. Statue of Liberty)

    Getting a Nobel Prize for being the most ineffective President in the history of the United States, though some say it was for his pigment.

    Putting all legislation on the Internet for five days before it comes to a vote.

    Returning the bust of Churchill to the Brits.

    Giving a collection of DVDs to the British PM.

    Denying the notion of American Exceptionalism.

    Promising to close Gitmo — failing to do so.

    Securing the Olympics for Chicago in 2016.

    Naming numerous Communists/Socialists/Progres... to his various Czar positions and then watching them scurry f...

    Government races for NJ, VA and the Senate Seat in Mass.

    The midterm elections, which Obama himself called a shellacking.

    Prediction that stimulus would ensure that unemployment doesn’t exceed 8% (real unemployment is at 18.2%).

    Bowing to just about everybody.

    Proposing amnesty for illegal aliens to increase the population of voters for Democrat elections.

    He said, I have visited 57 states. Now there is just 1 left to visit.

    And what is the problem? He disagrees with Romney on every level, and no one can tell me that he didnt despise Palin, because he had to have. She attacked Obama on a personal level in her campaign speeches, and that is as low as you can go. Obama can hate Romney all he wants. It really doesnt matter.

    President Obama has had PLENTY of accomplishments. Problem is that the right looks at those as bad things - while MOST of the Nation feels he's done well. Romney is an EMPTY candidate who has and WILL change his 'core' beliefs as often as he needs to in order to win. SOME people think he's sincere but he's really NEVER been that kind of guy. I saw first hand how he was as Governor of Mass and I wrote him THEN to let him know he'd never again get my vote because he lied in order to win and then he 'changed' his mind on most of the things that won him that election. Now I know they ALL lie at times but this guy - well watching him during those debates while they all raced at being the furthest right guy in the group showed me just how far his lies would take him. He REALLY doesn't give a crap about ALL people in the USA but he IS very concerned about his "CORE" the very wealthy.

    Maybe if Romney offered some actual policy positions, the opposition wouldn't have to focus on his business and personal history. Romney's campaign slogan is: "I'm a rich businessman. Trust me." He's bringing this on himself.

    Romney not good for American Middle class

    I guess you forget that Mitt was not nominated to run for governor. He was drafted. MA wanted him. And most people were so glad they had him that they tried to draft him again in '08.

    To make matters worse, Obama has presented a draft card. Like everything else about him, it is a fake. Obama was born in 1961. The draft ended in 1973 when he was 12.

    Sheer envy. Liberal politicians hate businessmen because it takes skill to run a business. Any clown could win a popularity contest.

    Romney is intelligent, talented, and qualified to be president, things Obama could never achieve.
